    1. [DUTCH-COLONIES] Error, Anna or Annetje wife of Jan Gerritse
    2. I see, for what ever reason, I included the surname Snedecker into Anna's name, when it fact, it is Anna/Annatje Remsen, Anna Snedeker was her daugher in law, wife of Rem Dorlands. Just wanted to clear that up. Judy

    1. [DUTCH-COLONIES] Revised Thinking on Marytje Dorland, wife of Gerret, Is She a Missing and Unknown Daughter of Jan Gerritse and Annetje Snedecker Dorland.
    2. Mike Morrissey had an interesting thought regarding this situation. He pointed out to me that two of the male sponsors were from the family of Jan Gerritse Dorland and perhaps Marytje had a strong connection to this family.. Looking at this with new eyes today, in the past Barbara and I had previously thought that Jan, the male sponsor of Annetje was the brother of Gerret Lamberts Dorland, but in actuality he was probably the brother of Rem. Their younger brother Abraham, born in 1690 would have been age 19 and Gerret and Marytje's son Abraham could have been named after him. Perhaps this Abraham was baby Abraham's sponsor. Annetje could have been named after Anna Snedecker Remsen, wife of Jan Gerritszen. Anna Snedecker, Jan's wife, was known as Annatje Dorland when she was a sponsor for the baptism of Cathrijntje, daughter of their son Jan and Marrejte Vandervere 19 July 1705. Ryck Suydam was the son-law of Jan Gerritsen Dorlandt Sr., husband of Jan’s daughter Jannetje. It appears that the known male sponsors were chosen by Merytie while the females by her husband Gerret Lamberts Dorland. Since Gerret Lamberts was born ca. 1673, Marytje would have been in that age range give or take a few years. She seems more like an unknown daughter of the family of Jan Gerritse, vs. a widowed daughter in law. She could also have been the child of Jan Gerritse and his first wife Gerritse, I suppose although that might be a little early age wise. She had to have been born at least by 1675 if not earlier. She could also have been an adopted daughter, not uncommon in those days. Between 1704 and 1714, the family of Geerret and Marytje moved from the Brooklyn area to the Jamaica area. I already checked available records on Staten Island where the grandparents, Lambert Janse and Harmptje were living after 1690 and did not see anything recorded in that church. I also don't understand why were have two missing baptisms for Jannetje and Jan which normally would have been in Brooklyn, unless they traveled else where for the baptism. Your thoughts are always appreciated. Judy REVISED BAPTISMAL SPONSORS OF THE CHILDREN OF GERRET LAMBERTS DORLAND AND MARYTJE Harmptje, bap 20 May 1695, Brooklyn, sponsors Rem Dorland and Bennejte. Jannetje ca. 1700, sponsors and baptismal location unknown, possibly Jannetje, sister of Marytje, dau. of Jan Gerritse Jan ca. 1702, sponsors and baptismal location, unknown, possibly named after the maternal grandfather Jan Gerritse who may have been his sponsor. Annetje bp 14 Nov 1704, Brooklyn, sponsors Jan Dorlandt, Lena Dorlandt, named for Annatje/Anna Snedecker Dorland. Garret, b. 1707 sponsors and baptismal location unknown, named for Garret. Abraham b. 1709, baptismal location unknown, male sponsor perhaps Abraham, son of Jan Gerritse b. ca. 1690 Lammert 1711, baptismal location unknown, sponsors unknown, named for Lammert janse Unknown Child, may have been twin of Lamberts, unkown Lena bp. 12 Oct. 1714, Jamaica, sponsor Rijck Hendrickse, Harmptje Dorlant, named for Gerrets sister Helena/Lena Dorland, wife of Pieter Gerritsen.

    3. Based on weekly and monthly reports I get from the search engines.. There are best results to obtain: The BEST Results?? Be mindful - all lists are always "SURNAME, given name" Three best ways with QUOTEMARKS " 1. "Surname, " (put a space after , then ") 2. "Surname, given name" (don't bother to try for middle name (middle names produce poor results) 3. ", Mary" - will work if you are not sure of married name but will produce a LOT of results! 1. Don't bother trying without quotemarks, you get more unwamted results. 2. Don't try county name, just go to the county list and you get more results there. 3. Don't try state name, just go to the state in question and browse. 4. Don't try these words - probate, guardianship, etc. Just go to appropriate sections. You get better results. http://www.sampubco.com/

    1. [DUTCH-COLONIES] Maritje Dorland
    2. It has been suggested that perhaps Maritje was actually born a Dorland of another branch. Another thought from my perspective is the fact that daughter #3. was named Annetje, while son # 2 was named Abraham. To my knowledge neither name is a Dorland ancestral name of Lammert Janse or Garrets, so it is more than possible that these names were of Maritje's family who may not be Dorlands. Annetje's baptismal sponsors were her Aunt Lena and Uncle Jan, siblings of her father Garret, we have no baptismal information for Abraham. Since Abraham never had children or even married that we know, we can't follow his line Annetje, however, who married Simon Van Arsdalen did have a daughter Annetje or Ann and a son Abraham. Judy

    1. [DUTCH-COLONIES] Garret Lammertse Dorland and his Wife Marytje, surname unknown
    2. One thing I would like for Christmas is to be able to discover the surname of Marytje, wife of Garret Lammertse Dorland, something Barbara Barth and I were never able to accomplish. So perhaps there is a "Santa" out there who might have some thoughts on this mystery. Garret Dorland b. abt. 1673, probably in Brooklyn, was the eldest son of Lammert Janse Dorland and his wife Harmptje Pieters. He married ca. 1694 to Marytje, surname unknown. We know the name of this wife from the Baptismal Records of their children, and if he had an additional wife prior to their marriage, that is not known. We also know that Garret died sometime after 7 Nov. 1730, the date he was a sponsor in New Utrecht for his grandson Garret, son of his son John. Property belonging to Garret, which he probably inherited from his father Lammert, whose residence was on Staten Island, NY at that date, was located in Montgomery Twp., Somerset County, NJ. This land was divided in 1739, three ways by a quit-claim deed, among his sons Garret, Abraham and Lambert who all moved there and established their plantation(s). (This quite claim deed, was in existance and in the possession of Nathaniel Mc Pherson Durling of Raritan, NJ, a contributor to the Somerset County Historical! Quarterly in the early 1900's. He also describes it as well as other documents in the Cremer, Dorland History. I knew his grandson Warren Durling, but Warren had no idea as to what became of these documents. If they were left to his siblings, he was unaware of it or what happened to the other Durland family papers in possession of Nathaniel Mc Pherson Durling. Deeds were not required to be registered in Montgomery Twp until after the Rev., thus only mortgages are available. Any deeds, if they still exist, remained in family hands or were passed on to the next owner. After the war, some people did record their deeds when the land was sold, however, it was sketchy for several years. That on 16 Jan. 1740/50 Garrets wife Marytje pledged money towards building the new church called Sourlandt and probably died at some point after that date and was buried on the Lambert Dorlandt farm cemetery with the rest of the family. As far as grandparents go, we can only confirm Lammert Janse Dorland and his wife Harmptje Pieters, who probably was Harmptje Jans Pieters, daughter of Jan Pieterszen Van Huysen and his first wife Elsie of New Amsterdam and Gowanus. The children of Garret and Marytje in order were: Harmtje bap. 1 695 Jannetje bap. ca. 17i00, m. 1719 John Corneliuis Van Arsdalen Jan b. ca. 1702, m. abt 1724 Catherine (poss) Davis Annetje bap. 1704 m. 1722 Simon Cornelisse Van Arsdale Gerrit b. abt 1707, m. Heyltje Jans Van Arsdale Abraham b. abt 1709, prob. never married Lammert b. abt. 1711, m. Dyna Van Liew, Engeltje (poss. Post). Christina Styntje Terheune, widow of Isaac Voorhees Child b. abt Dec. 1711, bur. 30 Dec. 1711 Lena bap 1714, m. abt 1i730 Jan Janse Van Arsdalen. Who was this Marytie, I have yet to figure this out, but perhaps one of you just might have some thoughts as to her family. I would love to know if anyone can identity of this Dorland woman.

    2. Dorothy Koenig
    3. Dear Jerry, The basic article on this family was published in "The New York Genealogical & Biographical Society Record", Volume 96, pages 66-76 (April 1965). It was "The Cornel Family of French Descent" by Mrs. John Spell. The article is reprinted on pages 314-324 of Volume I of "Genealogies of Long Island Families". There we learn that William was born about 1625 and married Margarita Polhemus. Their 6 children were Johannes, Maria, Peter, Catharina, Sarah, Cornelis, and Rachel. You can consult Mabel Spell's article for further particulars. Willem was buried from the Flatbush Church on 31 May 1690.

    3. For my good and great friend, Dorothy Koenig: As one who was present in the labor room, so to speak, when NNC was born, I regretfully extend my best wishes to you as you put the last edition to bed. I hope all those who follow the Dutch-Colonies list realize what a magnificent and far-reaching contribution Dorothy has made to the cause of the history of the people of New Netherland and their descendants, as well as to us in our individual endeavors to discover our own family's role in all of that. I would only hope that associations like the NYG&BS, the Holland Society, the NGS, and other libraries will put some quality binding around their collections of what you have always modestly referred to as a "newsletter" and keep them intact for posterity. "Newsletter?" We the contributors and consumers of the by now distinguished NNC would rather think of it as a quarterly scholarly journal, minus the slick covers and bindings. The NNC has always been a quality product, of that I can assure you. Finally, Dorothy, I also extend my hope that even as the sun sets on the NNC, you will continue to be among us, contributing, encouraging, and setting us straight when needed. I feel sure our late mutual and marvelous friend, Pim Nieuwenhuis, shares those sentiments.

I’ve seen reference to their operators being called cagenaer\kagenaer or caechskippers. I found a definition for Schuyt as a flat bottomed vessel so would like any detail about what it was used for. Was it for fishing in the shallow waters or was it used as a barge for ferrying cargo? I find vessel mentioned at Rotterdam, Zuid-Holland in the 1600’s. Thanks for your help.

    3. Mike, Thanks for the info. I already had the will abstract for this Jeremias. I guess this is about as definitive as I am going to get. The references for the birth of the earlier Jeremias b. 22 Aug 1708 were the Register of the Early Settlers of Kings Co., Long Island, New York, p. 238 and the Documentary History Of The Dutch Congregation of Oyster Bay, Vol. 1, p. 458. I am trying to put together a book for the Probasco family eventually and am trying to verify information for each generation. I feel pretty confident I have Christoffel Probasco and Eytje Stryker's children finally cleared up from all the confusion out there. I was hoping I could come up with more substantial proof for Heyltie and Jeremias Vanderbeeck Remsen's line. I have been doing exhaustive genealogical research along with a Probasco DNA project to prove the lines of the emigrant ancestor, George (Jurriaen) Probatski. With most of the children listed also naming one of their daughters Heyltje or various spelling, that also adds to the preponderance of evidence.

    2. Dorothy Koenig
    3. Dear Chris, I consulted my trusty "Groot Woordenboek der Nederlandse Taal" (van Dale). They list the word under the entry "kaag". It comes from the Old Norse word "kaggi" and refers to a flat-bottomed boat: "platboomd, binnenlands vaartuig met zwaarden, een enkele schuine mast en een halve boegspriet; het voerde een sprietzeil en een of twee fokken, en diende o.a. als lichter." Related is a "kaagman" or a "kaagschipper" = iem. die met een kaag vaart.
